全词写出怀人念远、忧思难禁之情，或为作者牵记其弟李从善入宋不得归，故触景生情而作。

上片点出春暮及相别时间，那落了一身还满的雪梅正像愁之欲去还来；而下片由彼方措意，说从善留宋难归，托雁捎信无凭，心中所怀的离恨，就好比越走越远还生的春草那样无边无际。

两者相形，倍觉愁肠寸断的凄苦和离恨常伴的幽怨。

歇拍两句从动态写出离恨的随人而远，尤显生动，为人所称。

李煜 清平乐别来春半　别来春半，触目柔肠断。

砌下落梅如雪乱，拂了一身还满。

雁来音信无凭，路遥归梦难成。

离恨恰如春草，更行更远还生。

Tune: "Pure Serene Music"Li YuSpring has half gone since we two parted;I can see nothing now but broken-hearted.

Plum blossoms fall below the steps like whirling snow;They cover me still though brushed off a while ago.

No message comes from the wild geese's song;In dreams you cannot come back for the road is long.

The grief of separation like spring grassGrows each day you're farther away, alas!
